"Troubled Child"
Music by Hair Knight. Words By Dana Dickson and Hair Knight
Appears on Troubled Children & Pied Piper
"Endless Blue" by Dana Dickson, 1989.
In the forever of
The endless blue
I will always
Be with you
In the time
Of passing sky
Nothing seems to
Tell us why
Clouds pass, islands
Names untold
And pink is green
And green is gold
And living now
In endless blue
Forever I will
Dream of you
And far off shadows
I have seen
Where blue is night
And day is green
I know that in the
Endless blue
I have always
Been with you
"Troubled Child"
Rain is falling in the distance.
Blood is caking in the dirt.
I feign simplistic resistance.
I know how much it can hurt.
Making such a brute proposal
Won't someone forgive my sin?
Resources at your disposal.
Open up and let me in.
Troubled child, can you hear me?
Are my words reflected clearly?
Please don't leave me because you know
I could never let you go.
Troubled Child, stop and listen.
Think of all the things you're missing.
It's not as bad as it seems.
Remember you can always dream.
I've taken all that I can get.
You've gotten all that I'm good for.
Get your bottom dollar bet that
You won't see me any more.
If I could only fly away
Into the forever blue
Of the cloudless sunny day
I just might meet up with you.
Troubled child, can you hear me?
Are my words reflected clearly?
Please don't leave me because you know
I could never let you go.
Troubled Child, stop and listen.
Think of all the things you're missing.
It's not as bad as it seems.
Remember you can always dream.
As a child, you were a vision.
What made you grow up this way?
By your own selfless admission
You told me but you didn't say.
How deep can this really get
When all we do is laugh and play?
Responsibilities close in and
This is all that I can say.
Troubled child, can you hear me?
Are my words reflected clearly?
Please don't leave me because you know
I could never let you go.
Troubled Child, stop and listen.
Think of all the things you're missing.
It's not as bad as it seems.
Remember you can always dream.
